I'm using Squid as my cache server, and we have wildcard domains. We need to use URLs like xxx.mydomain.com and xxx will be Chinese characters. But Squid can not deal with this and there will be a mistake.
So is there anybody know how to use Chinese Character URLS?
Yes, provided the client follows standards on IDNs etc.
It does not work out of the box if the client does not rewrite the host names according to the IDN requirements.
If the DNS names is registered in UTF-8 encoding in addition to IDN names then it should also work to configure the client to send UTF-8 URLs to Squid if Squid is built with the --disable-hostname-checks configure option.
